The word of GOD says we were all born in sin, and shapen in iniquity, but we were also born in deception, we had to go through man’s religion, the traditions of men, their divisions of denominations, disappointment, spiritual abuse, the buildings called church, and being made merchandise by religious leaders, just to find the truth, just to find the real JESUS!~
For the disappointments and failures you suffer in religion, your religious leaders, and the institutions called church, should inspire you to seek after TRUTH/JESUS for yourself!
The word of GOD says, When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Brothers and sisters, we have all been deceived at some point in our lives, and we have all been disappointed at some point in our lives, but then there comes a point in time when you are supposed to grow beyond where you once were!
There comes a point in life when we are supposed see beyond the shadow of things to come, and we are supposed to experience the exact image of what the shadow is a reflection of, “JESUS!”
There comes a time when you stop going to the buildings called church, because you become the real temple of GOD.
There comes a time when you stop running from conference to conference, and revival to revival, trying to pay a man or woman money to hear the free word of GOD!
But then there comes a time when you come out from among them, and you be separate, because you come to a place where you know you are the temple of GOD, for GOD does not reside in buildings made of man’s hands, GOD lives in the buildings he built for himself called man!
But the questions for you is this, Are you the temple of GOD? Have you decided to put away the childish things?
(Acts 7:47-51) But Solomon built GOD an house. Howbeit the most High GOD does not dwell in temples made with hands; as says the prophet, Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will you build me? says the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? Have not my hand made all these things? You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
(1 Corinthians 3:16-17) Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
(1 Corinthians 6:19-20) What? Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
(1 Corinthians 3:9) For we are labourers together with God: you are God’s husbandry, you are God’s building.
(John 14:23) JESUS SAYS, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our HOME with him.
(Luke 17:20-21) And when JESUS was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, JESUS answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here is the kingdom of God! or, lo there is the kingdom of God! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
(1 Corinthians 13:9-13) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
(Hebrews 5:12-14) For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that uses milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
(2 Corinthians 6:16-18) And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and you be separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
(1 John 2:26-27) I write these things unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which you have received of JESUS abides in you, and you do not need that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in JESUS.
Brothers and sisters, when I make a choice to let go of who I am, then I become what I might be, and all things become possible for me, because I believe JESUS!~
Putting away childish things!~
